Let 1. = f(x,y) denote the monotone decreasing rearrangement of a function f = f(x ) y) with respect to y. If —u = f, —v = f in the domain Il = (0,1) x (0,1) and Ou = = 0 on the boundary 81 of 1, then oscu < oscv, where the quantity oscw for a On function w is defined as the difference supw infw. Similar results are proved for periodic solutions of some boundary value problems in cylindrical domains.
